Alien Knights

With an extremely weak body, it was extremely difficult to even lift a finger. Jerome tried his best to open his heavy eyelids, and a ray of light entered his line of sight.

Everything in front of my eyes is blurred, and I can only distinguish the outline of the surrounding things.

Jerome noticed that someone was walking by. The person was wearing a white robe, his face could not be seen clearly, and even his gender could not be distinguished.

"I……"

Opening his mouth, Jerome found his throat was on fire, and his voice was hoarse like sandpaper rubbing.

Someone noticed what he was doing and ran out of the room screaming.

Jerome took a deep breath and tried to sit up, but all he got was soreness and restraint of his hands and feet.

"Damn it." Jerome moved his hands and feet, and found in frustration that his limbs were firmly tied to the stone bed by iron hoops, and a needle was inserted in his right hand, which was connected to a dripping glass bottle. The left hand that can use the ability of "cracking" is tightly closed by a metal box, and the material of the box is unknown. Not only the shell cannot be disassembled, but even the fingers cannot be moved.

A teenager in linen walked quickly to the bed, watched Jerome regain consciousness, and said with a smile: "You have slept for four days and four nights, and it is normal to feel weak now."

Jerome shook his left hand, looked at the needle on the back of his right hand, and turned his questioning gaze to the person in front of him.

The young man took the cardboard from someone else's hand, checked the records, and said, "The ability in your left hand is very dangerous, we isolated it; as for the needle on your right hand, don't worry, it's the potion you need to survive these days."

"Okay... Stranger, where am I?"

"My name is Todd Fischer, the head of the Muxi Knights, the place you are in now is the underground of Muxi Town."

"You are Todd? The rumored Holy Son?!"

Jerome tried hard to turn around, but saw his naked upper body, and suddenly gave up struggling and lay down on the stone bed: "When do you plan to do it?"

Todd gave him a surprised look: "Do it?"

"You should know my identity? You should also know why I came to Muxi Town? Don't you plan to rule out my threat?"

"I really don't understand. If you have such an idea, why did you run to the border of Muxi Town?" Todd looked at the loneliness and hopelessness on Jerome's face, and did not choose to continue on this topic: "We will not execute you, because your body has great value."

"value?"

"I personally checked your left arm and found that you had received the "Sutherland Inheritance" and had the mutation of "Inheritor", but the mutation in your body did not spread."

"That's right." Perhaps with a laissez-faire mentality, Jerome talked about his past: "I used to be a heterogeneous species and was captured into the "Presbyterian Council". Before I came into contact with the "Sutherland Relic", I was told that only one out of ten people would survive. The fact is, Goddess of Fate played a joke on me. Although I won the first prize and became the "Successor", my left arm has mutated."

Todd found a chair and sat down, quietly listening to the other party's statement.

"The "Presbyterian Church" then let me inhale more "Sutherland relics", hoping to suppress the mutation. But the alienation spread along my left arm to the left half of my body. When it was the worst, half of my head mutated into a monster. I gradually lost my mind and started attacking everything around me. Until a person rescued me..."

Todd remembered the secrets that Rachel had told him before, and asked, "Theodore saved you?"

Jerome glanced at the other party and nodded: "That's right, the master injected some strange black liquid into my body. My mutation gradually stopped, and my body began to recover. Only my left arm remained like this, and I can never recover."

"If I asked you, what is that black liquid? Presumably you wouldn't say it, would you?"

"Yes, but in fact, I don't know what it is."

Todd sat on the chair, pondered for a moment, and then said: "I have two questions. First, you recovered from the mutation. Don't other people in the "Presbyterian Church" become suspicious? Second, since Theodore has found a way to prevent alienation, why didn't he apply this method to the "successor" of the "Presbyterian Council"?"

"The fact that Theodore healed me was very secretive, and not many people knew about it. Those people in the "Presbyterian Council" just regarded my recovery as a miracle. As for why the master didn't make this technology public, his original words were, "Handing over such a thing will save only a few unlucky ghosts, and in the end it will only satisfy the desires of ambitious people." He hoped to use this technology to create a weapon, a weapon capable of deterring all forces, and adopt a coercive threat to eliminate alien wars. Unexpectedly, he ended up Chose you as the savior, and lost my life because of it..."

Todd sighed: "I've heard about Theodore, it's a tragedy. If I could have persuaded him earlier, or accepted him as soon as possible, maybe nothing would have happened..."

After Todd finished speaking, he began to think quickly in his mind. In the past, he has always been surprised that "Dead Spirit Inheritors" are also a type of "Inheritors". These corpses retain basic physiological symptoms, and no matter how many foreign microorganisms they ingest, they will not mutate. This is really a very strange thing.

But now, through the affairs of The Heir of the Necromancer and Jerome, he had caught a thread in these mysteries.

Theodore should have found a certain substance, a substance that can activate or even upgrade the "Sutherland Bacteria". Through the reactivation of the nervous system, the spliced ​​corpse can be reshaped into a complete creature; it can also adjust and enhance the efficacy of the "Sutherland Bacteria" to suppress the mutation.

Right now, there are still a few very important questions left for Todd.

1. What is this substance?

2. How exactly does this substance work?

3. Most importantly, how to use and deal with this substance?

Todd looked at Jerome on the stone platform, and asked suspiciously: "I am curious about one thing. I am the head of the church, and you are a member of the "Legion of Discord". I can't see hostility in your eyes. I am surprised by your cooperative attitude..."

The latter glanced at Todd in confusion: "Lord Theodore once said a word to me."

Todd looked at the man, waiting for his next words.

"He told me, 'Compared to the violence and cruelty of the Presbyterian Church, I found a better place to protect the dignity and life of the heterogeneous'..." Jerome glanced at Todd hesitantly: "But, after all, you are a knight leader who is loyal to the church..."

Todd walked towards the exit of the room, smiled and said to Jerome: "It won't be soon, at this time the day after tomorrow, the chief commander in front of you will be the king of the "Music Knights Kingdom"."
